Eastside CHADD -Executive Function Update: Skills for School and Life

Eastside CHADD meets on Tuesday, May 16, 2017, at Evergreen Healthcare in Kirkland.

Barbara Bennett, M.A. will speak on Executive Function Update: Skills for School and Life

Researchers in the field of Executive Function (EF) have identified the skills for successful learning and living. EF skills develop in early childhood.

Learn the latest research findings so that you can help your child acquire these essential skills. EF is more than "doing and turning in homework." Understand how EF affects key academic skills in reading, writing, and math.

Barbara Bennett, M.A., private practice Educational Therapist, specializes in teaching EF skills to students with ADHD, dyslexia, dysgraphia, and other learning disorders, so that each student learns “how to learn” and how to master academic skills.

Ms. Bennett trained with key national figures in the fields of ADHD and learning disabilities. She continues to learn from up-to-date research and clinical practices. She also consults with teachers and clinicians to improve learning in the classroom and at home.

Ms. Bennett collaborates with pediatricians and medical professionals to facilitate the early identification of learning, attention, and executive function challenges.

7:00 - 9:00pm. Doors open at 6:30pm.
